‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3 premiere: What did you think of return episode ‘Mabel’? [POLL]

“Better Call Saul” fans, what did you think of the Season 3 premiere written by Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould and directed by Gilligan? Let us know by voting in our poll below. Titled “Mabel,” the hour found Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) trying to bond with his brother Chuck (Michael McKean), while Mike (Jonathan Banks) sought to discover who was following him. Will Mike’s investigation eventually lead him to Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), who’s set to make his first appearance on “Better Call Saul” after so many years wreaking havoc on parent series “Breaking Bad”?

“Breaking Bad” is a tough act to follow, but “Better Call Saul” has managed to live up to those high standards, at least according to the Emmy Awards. The AMC drama has earned a whopping 14 Emmy nominations for its first two seasons, including back-to-back bids for Best Drama Series, Best Actor for Odenkirk and Best Supporting Actor for Banks.
